Changed

The Bing translator is back. HoverTranslate now asks for access to <www.bing.com> only when you pick Bing in the settings. If Bing was already your translator, pick it in the settings once more to allow that access; until then, words are translated with Google, and a notice on the video says so.
"Translate from" and "Translate to" open a panel with a search by the language's name, in the language of the settings or in English.

Added

The settings are now available in Vietnamese, Indonesian, Hungarian, Greek and Arabic (right to left, as are the messages on the video).
A request to rate HoverTranslate, only once it has been in use for a while: a card in the settings and, once ever, a small card on the video. "Don't ask again" ends it for good.
When the browser does not let HoverTranslate work on YouTube (in older versions of Firefox, or with site access set to "On click" in Chrome and Edge), the settings say so, with a button to allow it.
More than 50 new languages with Google, among them Portuguese (Portugal), French (Canada), Dari, Tibetan, Chechen and Inuktitut. On a first install with the browser in European Portuguese or Canadian French, that is now the translation language. Hebrew, Filipino, Javanese and Chinese no longer appear twice in the lists of languages.

Fixed

In older versions of Chrome, Edge and Firefox, words were not translated, DeepL did not work, or the settings could not load the lists of languages.
In YouTube players embedded on other websites, hovering a subtitle word did nothing since YouTube's new embedded player (March 2026).
Dragging and clicking the subtitles: a right or middle click, or a Control-click (a right click on a Mac), no longer saves or copies the word, dragging no longer saves the word under the pointer, and with auto-pause on the video stays paused while the subtitles are dragged.
Selecting several words with Shift works again in Chrome and Edge on Windows and Linux, where the selection shrank to a single word, and in auto-generated subtitles a selection no longer disappears each time the lines move up or YouTube finishes writing the last word, as it often does in Japanese.
In Chinese and Japanese subtitles, punctuation now stays with the word before it instead of joining the next one, so hovering a word no longer shows a stray comma or full stop in its translation.
"Translation saved" and the other messages on the video were placed off screen when the page was scrolled down, and long ones, such as the Bing notice or DeepL errors, went past the right edge of the video. With another video on the page, such as a thumbnail preview or the miniplayer, or with subtitles in two places at once, the translation stays within the video the subtitles belong to, the subtitles no longer shift sideways, and auto-pause no longer stops the video over the empty space beside auto-generated subtitles.
And more
